Case Study: Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital achieves faster, more efficient rostering with Patchwork Health’s Patchwork Rota

RNOH cuts rota building time from 5 hours to 30 minutes with Patchwork Health

The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) was facing significant challenges in rostering its substantive clinicians, leading to frequent rota gaps, high administrative workload, and a lack of visibility into staffing compliance. To address this, the hospital partnered with Patchwork Health to implement its Patchwork Rota solution, aiming to streamline rota management and seamlessly integrate it with their existing temporary staffing processes.

By implementing Patchwork Rota, Patchwork Health provided features like a drag-and-drop pattern builder and automatic shift cascading, which dramatically reduced the time spent creating rosters from 5 hours to just 30 minutes. The solution also embedded greater visibility, cutting the time to find shift cover from over 6 hours to just 1 hour per month. These efficiencies, alongside integrated use of Patchwork Bank, resulted in substantial cost savings of £330k through reduced agency reliance and a much-improved experience for staff.
